Voice: rewrote REGINALD_SYSTEM and CAPTURE_SYSTEM (core) to an elevated,
dry butler register, and re-voiced his visible lines — chat greetings, the
approve/dismiss/error replies, the standup closer ('The kettle is on. Yours,
Reginald.'), the onboarding welcome, and the capture prose. Both system prompts
now also instruct him never to use an em dash.
Em-dashes: swept every user-facing string in the renderer free of em-dashes
(punctuation only, comments left untouched) via a per-file pass, plus the core
tool descriptions and the memory focus-slot placeholder ('· ' not '— '). Bare
'—' value placeholders became middots ('·'). No em-dash now renders anywhere
in the app or in Reginald's own output.
core 169 tests green (updated the memory placeholder assertion) · core + desktop
tsc clean · verified visually (posh greeting + standup closer render).

More static mocks found by poking the live app:
- Settings was ~80% mock: a fake Sync card (webhook endpoint :48731, poll
fallback, 'last reconcile 3.2s · 500 issues'), a fake dual-model 'router'
(gemma-4b/qwen-72b with hardcoded URLs), and an unwired Rituals card. Replaced
with honest/live content: the Sync card now describes the real on-demand
reconcile + stale-cache model; the Model card shows the actual probed model
from model.status(); dropped Rituals and the duplicate 'Forget' button.
- Settings showed 'Not connected' while the app was clearly connected: config:get
returned only the *saved* config, so a .env.local/env connection read as null.
It now falls back to a public view of the resolved connection — Settings and
the rail host label reflect the real christian/commitea connection.
- Capture braindump was pre-filled with a fake example ('auth is flaky…'); now
starts empty with just the placeholder.
Verified live: Settings shows christian/commitea connected + google/gemma-4-26b
reachable; Capture empty; a live Reginald chat turn runs the agent loop.

Poking at the live app (a real repo with no open issues) surfaced two empty-state gaps:
- Focus (Morning service) rendered a bare header — no cards, no empty state —
because scheduleFocus returns a FocusView with empty now/next/later rather than
undefined, so the `if (!focus)` guard never fired. Guard on 'no now/next/later'
too → shows the 'Nothing to pour' EmptyState.
- Standup's calm sentinel nag (id 0) still rendered '#0 · steeping 0d · blocks'
chrome and was a click target (would try to open issue #0). Render the calm
case as a plain reassurance pill, no chrome, not clickable.
Both verified against the live christian/commitea repo (all issues closed → no
open work). desktop tsc clean.

- perf.test.ts: the @200 absolute check flaked under machine load (single-shot vs
a 1000ms bound; nominal ~230ms). Measure best-of-3 (a micro-benchmark's minimum
reflects true compute cost, not load spikes) against a 1500ms catastrophic-
regression guard. The scaling test remains the real O(n²) guard.
- ModelAwayState: remove the hardcoded 'queued: 1 directive' badge (no live queue
count is wired) and the now-unused Badge import.

The app is now fixture-free. All product screens render live data (via the
reconcile bridge + view builders) or an EmptyState — no hardcoded demo data,
metrics, or prose anywhere in the UI.
- Removed the `?? FIXTURE` fallbacks and embedded fake strings (fixed dates,
'reconcile 3.2s', 'ahead of forecast', mock forecast prose) from all 10 product
screens; each now shows an EmptyState when its live data is absent.
- directives-screen: fully live off pmstate.directives() (was seeded from a
fixture with a fake consequence-diff card) — loading + empty states, no seed.
- use-chat: drop the CHAT seed (the model-status effect already sets the greeting).
- data/fixtures.ts → data/view-types.ts: stripped every const design fixture,
kept only the view-model TYPES (the builder↔screen contract). Repointed imports.
Testing fixture (no live gitea), per the user's call:
- New apps/desktop/src/main/demo-snapshot.ts — one deterministic, gitea-shaped
snapshot (issues/milestones/deps/timelines + capacity + directives + collaborators).
Served by the reconcile/boot/collaborators/capacity/directives handlers when
COMMITEA_E2E=1, so e2e renders it through the REAL builders with no token.
- smoke.spec rewritten to assert on the demo snapshot through the live render path;
onboarding/offline-toggle assertions dropped (wizard is live → live-onboarding;
offline is real state now). 12/12 smoke pass.
Verify: core tsc clean · desktop tsc clean · 12/12 smoke green (perf#32 benchmark
flakes under machine load — unrelated, passes in isolation).

The 4-step wizard is now fully live — nothing faked.
Backend (core + main):
- GiteaClient.createLabel (POST /labels).
- core/gitea/bootstrap.ts: SCHEMA_LABELS (the full est/p/deadline vocabulary with
colors+descriptions), applySchemaLabels (idempotent — creates only missing),
repoExists + ensurePmStateRepo (token-scoped, org vs personal endpoint). 7 tests.
- config:bootstrap IPC handler + preload bridge + BootstrapResult type.
Wizard:
- Connect step → live config.discover ('connected · N repos visible' is real).
- Repo step → owner dropdown + repo radios from the discovered repos.
- Bootstrap step → real: applies the label schema + ensures the pm-state sidecar,
shows the actual outcome (created vs already-present), then saves config.
- Gate: first run (no config) → wizard; reconnect (existing) → the compact card.
Removed the dead 'firstrun' dev view.

P1 — cut showcases:
- Delete gallery.tsx (Primitives) and StatesScreen/Specimen from states.tsx
(keep the reusable EmptyState/OfflineBanner/ModelAwayState).
- Delete placeholder-screen.tsx ('built in a later phase' stub).
- app-shell: drop the states/primitives views, the dev-rail block, the
PHASE/TITLE maps, the INBOX_UNREAD=3 fixture fallback, and the now-dead demo state.
P2 — real connectivity:
- Replace the fake 'toggle the connection (demo)' button with a live status dot
derived from the reconcile: green online, red when serving the stale cache
(gitea unreachable), amber while connecting. OfflineBanner + chat offline now
reflect real state, not a manual toggle.

The cache is a rebuildable index over gitea, never a source of truth (D4).
Two tests lock that invariant where the durable cache actually lives:
- packages/core: cache-purity-v0.test.ts — file-backed node:sqlite. Build the
SQLite mirror from a gitea snapshot, capture every re-derived field, delete the
.sqlite file, rebuild from the same snapshot, assert byte-identical. Plus a
structural D4 guard: every issues-table column must map to a gitea field, so a
future user-authored column can't silently break rebuild-ability.
- apps/desktop: snapshot-store.test.ts — the shipped durable cache is the JSON
snapshot-store. Delete the file → loadSnapshot returns null (degrades to
no-cache, never throws), which is what forces the next getSnapshot to reconcile
fresh from gitea. Corrupt/partial files are likewise treated as no-cache.
Stands up vitest for the desktop main process (first unit tests there);
electron is mocked, snapshot path is injected.
No native better-sqlite3 shipped: the SQLite mirror has no consumer on any hot
path yet, so wiring it into main (native module + asarUnpack + dmg re-verify)
would add packaging risk for no runtime benefit. The purity invariant is proven
at the seam for both caches; the native driver migration is deferred until
SQLite becomes load-bearing.

The cold-start surface showed "N/20 closed issues estimated", implying you're
just (20−N) closes away. But calibrationSamples silently drops closed+estimated
issues that closed in 0 working days (same-day closes) — real closes that
structurally can't calibrate. On this repo that's 10 of 24 closes hidden: the
note read 14/20 as if 6 away, when a third of the history will never count.
- core: `calibrationCoverage(issues, timelines, asOf)` → { candidates, usable,
excludedSameDay }, counting the silently-excluded same-day closes. Pure, tested.
- surface it: CalibrationData gains `excludedSameDay`; backlogCalibration returns
the coverage; the Runway note and the Calibration screen now say "… · N same-day
closes can't calibrate" so the thin sample is explained, not just reported.
Verified on christian/commitea: closed=24, usable=14, excludedSameDay=10.

Surfaces the assign/milestone mutations end-to-end so they're usable in-app and
by the agent — the rest of #24.
Agent path:
- propose_change tool + system prompt now accept `assignee` (login/null) and
`milestone` (id/null). ProposeChangeArgs + proposalsFor extended: a new
ProposalContext (current assignee/milestone + milestones list) lets a proposal
skip no-ops and label the milestone. ChangeProposal gains an always-present
`summary` (plan is now label-only) — chat-panel, use-chat, and the model
executor render `summary`, so non-label proposals display correctly.
Dialog path:
- Client `listCollaborators()` (prepends the repo owner — /collaborators omits
them, so a solo-owner repo still has an assignable person). New
`gitea:collaborators` bridge. The Adjust dialog gains Assignee + Milestone
pickers (current values from the reconciled backlog); pending assign/remilestone
changes flow through the existing apply path.
Tests: +4 core (assign/milestone proposals with no-op skip; collaborators
owner-prepend + no-double-add). 138 core green; core + desktop typecheck clean;
14 fixture e2e green; live-backlog now drives the pickers on real data.
Fixed stale P2 refs in live-backlog (P2 is shipped → correctly off the runway).

The write path handled only the est/* and p/* label axes. Extend it to the two
mutations dogfooding proved were missing — assignee and milestone — behind one
unified change model:
- IssueChange gains `assign` and `remilestone` kinds. `planIssueChange` is now
typed to LabelChange (the label kinds only); `isLabelChange` narrows, and a new
pure `summarizeChange(change, currentLabels?)` gives one confirm line for ANY
kind (label kinds delegate to describeChange; field writes describe directly).
- GiteaClient gains `setIssueAssignees` / `setIssueMilestone` (PATCH /issues/{n},
returning the updated issue; milestone 0 clears).
- The main `gitea:applyChange` handler branches: label swaps resolve ids +
setIssueLabels as before; field writes call the new client methods. Snapshot
invalidated either way so board + forecast catch up. ApplyChangeResult.plan is
now optional (absent for field writes).
- issue-screen uses summarizeChange for its diff preview.
Tests: +5 covering isLabelChange, and summarizeChange for assign/unassign,
milestone set-by-title / by-id / removal, and label delegation. Full core suite
132 green; core + desktop typecheck clean.
Follow-up (rest of #24): surface assignee/milestone pickers in the Adjust dialog
and extend the agent's propose_change tool so Reginald can propose them too.

ganttView ran schedule() — the single-serial-worker layout — while the Monte
Carlo forecast ran scheduleWithCapacity() over the real lanes. So the bars you
saw didn't match what was forecast (serial 1.0/day vs the team's actual lanes).
Switch ganttView to scheduleWithCapacity(open, deps, workers): startDay/endDay
now come from the same lane layout each forecast trial uses, and `who` shows the
lane an issue actually landed on (falling back to assignee, then blank). The
dogfood harness had the same split — updated it to match and to print the lane
per row.
Verified: typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green, live-onboarding e2e renders the
real capacity-aware Gantt with no uncaught errors.

scripts/dogfood-report.ts drives the real @commitea/core engine (schedule +
capacity-aware Monte Carlo forecast + per-milestone runway) against the live
christian/commitea backlog and prints the project report each screen derives.
Read-only; `yarn tsx scripts/dogfood-report.ts`. Adds tsx as a devDependency.
First run surfaced two real gaps the fixtures hid: every open issue was
unassigned (so capacity load-balanced work onto the slow half-time lane and the
standup plan-per-person was empty) and no milestone had a due date (so Runway
couldn't judge on-track/at-risk). Both were fixed as PM actions on the repo via
the write path — all open issues assigned, milestone due dates synthesized from
the forecast — so the app's own numbers are now honest.

Adds shareable desktop packaging so the app can be handed to teammates.
- electron-builder@25 + electron-builder.yml: appId io.stephenmann.commitea,
productName CommiTea, icon from the logo (build/icon.png, 1024²), macOS dmg
targets for arm64 + x64. Ships only out/** (electron-vite already bundles
renderer/preload/main with core + react inlined), npmRebuild off,
electronVersion pinned to 34.5.8 (workspace hoisting defeats auto-detect).
- Unsigned by decision: mac.identity null, hardenedRuntime off. electron-builder
ad-hoc signs so arm64 runs; not notarized — teammates right-click → Open once.
- Scripts: `yarn pack` (--dir sanity build), `yarn dist` (both dmgs). package.json
gains version/author/description (required by electron-builder).
- README.md: dev/build/package commands + the Gatekeeper install step.
Verified: packaged arm64 app boots from a fresh profile (lands on onboarding);
`yarn dist` produced CommiTea-0.1.0-arm64.dmg (98M) and CommiTea-0.1.0.dmg (x64,
102M), each mounting with a drag-to-Applications layout.

Every remaining fixture-only surface now renders reconciled gitea data,
with the fixture kept only as the no-config demo fallback.
- lib/views/project-data.ts: ProjectData — the uniform input (reconciled
backlog + deps + timelines + calibration + workers + today) that AppShell
assembles once and every view builder consumes.
- lib/views/{issue-detail,gantt-view,deps-graph,standup-view,inbox-view}.ts:
pure builders, ProjectData → the fixture-shaped object each screen already
renders. Real signals only; honest degradation where a signal isn't derivable
(buffered p80 vs per-issue Monte Carlo; flat "idle in review"; no fabricated
inbox mentions/outages).
- Screens take an optional `data?` and fall back to the fixture; AppShell wires
the real view whenever the backlog is reconciled. Issue "blocks" chips and the
rail inbox badge now resolve from real data too.
- Dev-only rail surfaces (First run / States / Primitives) gated on
import.meta.env.DEV || demo — shown in dev + e2e, hidden in a packaged app.
Rail host label reflects the connected instance.
- Extended the live onboarding e2e to click Board → Gantt → Deps → Issue
sidecar → Standup → Inbox on real gitea data with a pageerror guard; 14
fixture e2e stay green, typecheck + prod build clean.

The foundation for a shareable team build. Replaces the .env.local-only dev config
with a real, per-teammate connection flow.
main:
- config-store.ts: token encrypted at rest via Electron safeStorage (OS keychain),
config JSON in userData. Token lives only in main; renderer gets everything but.
- resolveConfig: saved config > .env.local (dev) > null; ignored under COMMITEA_E2E.
pm-state repo defaults to `${repo}-pm-state`. resetClients() re-reads on change so
saving config takes effect without a restart. gitea:status gains `demo` (e2e).
- IPC: config:get (no token), config:test (authed read validates token+repo),
config:set (encrypt+save+reset), config:clear. Model bridge reads config.modelUrl
and probes reachability — chat is "configured" only if a model actually answers;
localhost default is dev-only (app.isPackaged gate).
renderer:
- ConnectScreen: real onboarding form (URL/owner/repo/PAT/optional model) → test →
save. AppShell gates on it: demo → shell (fixtures/e2e); configured → shell (real);
else → connect. Settings Connection card is real (repo/url/model/sidecar) with
Reconfigure + Disconnect. Chat cleanly disables with a "no model" state instead of
the scripted canned reply.
Verified: main + desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green (demo mode unchanged),
live onboarding e2e: fresh app → connect form → validated PAT → real board (24 done /
10 open). COMMITEA_NO_ENV_LOCAL + COMMITEA_USERDATA are test hooks for the onboarding path.

Turns the single-serial-worker scheduler into a capacity-aware, multi-lane one.
Configured team members become lanes; an issue runs on its assignee's lane (or the
earliest-free lane), its duration scaled by that lane's throughput
(focusFactor × allocation). Every forecast — Focus cone, Runway, milestone
drill-in — is now capacity-aware.
core (@commitea/core):
- capacity/capacity-v0: CapacityMember + capacityPerWorkday + parseCapacityConfig
(clamps, drops invalid; degrades to []).
- scheduler/scheduler-capacity-v0: scheduleWithCapacity reuses the v0 topo order +
critical path, re-lays work across lanes (layoutOnLanes, resolveLanes, makespan).
Empty workers → the single serial plan verbatim.
- forecast() gains options.workers: each MC trial lays sampled durations across the
lanes and takes the makespan; serial path unchanged. SchedulableIssue gains
assignee; ScheduledItem gains worker.
- 11 new tests (parse/clamp, parallelism halves makespan, speed scaling, assignee
routing, cross-lane deps, forecast makespan shrinks with lanes).
app:
- pm-state capacity/members.json read (readCapacity + pmstate:capacity bridge);
useCapacity hook → workers; forecastBacklog/runwayView/milestoneView pass workers.
- Runway Capacity card shows the real config (person · focus · alloc · pd/day).
Config lives in pm-state (D4); seeded christian(0.8)/stephen(0.6×0.5). Degrades to
the fixture/serial when absent.
Verified: 128 core tests green, desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live:
the capacity card is real, and the P2 forecast shifts 32d→37d — honest, since real
focus factors (<1) replace the v0 focus-1.0 assumption.

The 26b is slow (~30s/call); the chat now shows the answer forming instead of
freezing until it's done. The final prose streams over SSE; tool-calling turns
stay structured (no partial tokens), so streaming kicks in for the narration.
core (@commitea/core):
- chat-client.complete gains an optional onToken — when set, it requests
stream:true and parses the OpenAI SSE stream, emitting content deltas and
assembling streamed tool-call argument fragments into the final result.
- GiteaHttpResponse exposes the optional `body` stream (real fetch has it; stubs
don't). agent-loop threads onToken to each completion.
app:
- model:chat forwards each delta to the renderer (event.sender.send); preload
exposes model.onToken(cb) → unsubscribe. useChat accumulates the live stream
into a growing bubble (with a cursor), replaced by the authoritative final
content when the turn resolves. Unconfigured → scripted reply, unchanged.
Verified: 118 core tests green (2 streaming: SSE content deltas + tool-call
fragment assembly), desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live: a real
turn against gemma-4-26b assembles the correct answer via the streaming path
(live-reginald green) — the reply now renders token-by-token.

Clicking a milestone on Runway now opens its real detail: scope + done %, a Monte
Carlo cone over the remaining open work, and the milestone's issues grouped by
lifecycle column. Threaded the gitea milestone id through the Runway row → AppShell
→ a milestoneView().
- backlog.ts: milestoneView(id, ...) → { name, due, scope/done, forecast cone +
range, groups by lifecycle column }. Reuses forecast + buildBurnUpData + lifecycle
inference. null for an unknown id → the screen shows the demo fixture.
- RunwayMilestone gains an `id`; runwayView sets it; RunwayScreen.onOpenMilestone(id).
- MilestoneScreen takes optional `data`; renders real header/stats/cone/issue-groups
when present, fixture otherwise.
Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live: clicking "P2 —
Scheduler + Monte Carlo" opens a real detail — 7 issues · est 20d, 0/7 done, cone
"80% Aug 17–26", issues in Triage/In-review from the real event stream (screenshot).

The Runway milestone list is now real. Each open gitea milestone's open scope gets
its own Monte Carlo forecast (reusing the P2 engine); the p80 landing range is
shown, and compared to the milestone's due date (on track / at risk) when one
exists. Ranges, never point dates.
- backlog.ts: runwayView(issues, milestones, deps) → RunwayMilestone[] — per
milestone: forecast its open scope, map p50..p90 to a date range, normalize the
RunwayBar band across a shared horizon, tone/ note from due-vs-p80. Milestones
with no open scope (shipped) are omitted; empty → the demo fixture.
- RunwayScreen takes optional `milestones`; AppShell feeds runwayView. The header's
calibration note was already real (#1).
Scope: each milestone forecasts its remaining work *from today* independently —
they aren't scheduled relative to each other yet (so a smaller later phase can
show an earlier date). Cross-milestone sequencing is a refinement. Capacity stays
fixture — true per-person capacity (focus factor, allocation) is #8, config-driven.
Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live: Runway shows the
real P1/P2/P4/P5 milestones with per-milestone forecasts (e.g. "P2 — Scheduler +
Monte Carlo · 80% Aug 14–25 · 32d of work"); the fixture lists Beta/Pilot/v1.0,
so the real names prove it (new assertion + screenshot).

Extends the in-memory cache into a durable mirror. The reconcile snapshot is
written to disk on every successful reconcile; on boot the app shows it instantly
(stale-while-revalidate) instead of a blank board, and if gitea is unreachable,
reads fall back to it (offline). Rebuildable — the durable truth stays in gitea.
- snapshot-store.ts: load/save the snapshot as JSON in app userData (never throws;
corrupt/absent → "no cache"). At this scale (~34 issues, 37KB) the whole snapshot
fits in memory, so a JSON file beats indexed SQL — no query benefit yet, no
native-module (better-sqlite3/electron-rebuild) or WASM dependency. That's the
next step if the mirror ever needs indexed queries over larger data.
- gitea.ts: getSnapshot persists on a fresh pull; bootSnapshot() returns the
persisted snapshot (without seeding the cache — agents still reconcile fresh);
gitea:boot serves it; gitea:reconcile falls back to it on failure (stale:true).
- useBacklog: stale-while-revalidate — boot instantly, then a fresh reconcile
supersedes; a reconcile error keeps the shown snapshot instead of erroring.
Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live: the snapshot
persists (34 issues / 44 deps / 34 timelines / 5 milestones written to disk); a
second launch with gitea unreachable renders the full real board — NOW/NEXT/LATER
+ the Monte Carlo cone — entirely from the cache (new live-persistence e2e).

A full reconcile is ~2N gitea calls (deps + timelines per issue). Every agent
tool call (query_project) was doing a fresh one; the UI reconcile and the agent
didn't share anything. Now a single in-memory snapshot cache backs both.
- gitea.ts: getSnapshot(client, { maxAgeMs }) — reads within the window reuse the
cache; maxAgeMs:0 forces fresh. invalidateSnapshot() drops it. The explicit UI
reconcile forces fresh (and warms the cache); agent tool calls tolerate a 30s
TTL to stay responsive; applyChange + createIssues invalidate so the board and
forecast reflect the write immediately.
- model.ts: query_project reads getSnapshot (30s TTL) instead of reconciling live.
This is the SQLite mirror's cache semantics in memory — rebuildable, the durable
truth stays in gitea (purity split, D4). Persistent SQLite (offline + instant
boot) is a separate slice: Electron 34's Node 20 has no node:sqlite, so it needs
better-sqlite3 + electron-rebuild or sql.js/WASM — deferred as its own decision.
Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green, live Reginald still
answers correctly from the cache (writes invalidate → board stays correct).

The pm-state repo now exists, so the last unverified path is proven: Reginald
records a directive to the real ledger.
- chat panel: the "consulted" activity line names record_directive as "the
directive ledger" (matching query_project → the project, propose_change → the labels).
- live-directive e2e (gated): a directive typed in chat → Reginald logs it and
says "recorded", consulting the directive ledger.
Verified live against gemma-4-26b + the commitea-pm-state repo: "freeze scope for
beta, pilots come first" appended to directives/log.jsonl as
{kind: scope, quote: <verbatim>, status: accepted} — logged, never claimed applied.
Reginald is now complete and every tool is verified end-to-end.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The last agent tool. When the PM states standing intent ("pilots come first"),
Reginald logs it verbatim to an append-only JSONL ledger in the pm-state repo —
a directive is intent; its effects still land through propose_change. This
completes Reginald's tool surface: query_project · propose_change · capture_work
· record_directive.
core (@commitea/core):
- directives/record-directive-v0: schema (kind/quote/target/params/rationale +
id/ts/status), serialize/parseDirectiveLog (ts-ordered, seq computed on read,
corrupt lines skipped), appendDirective (concatenation merge), toDirectiveInput.
- RECORD_DIRECTIVE_TOOL + system prompt update ("log standing intent; never claim
a change is applied").
- gitea client: getFile/putFile (contents API, base64-agnostic) for the pm-state repo.
app:
- main: a pm-state client (same token, `commitea-pm-state` repo — the purity
split, D4); appendDirectiveEntry (read→append→write, id/ts stamped here),
readDirectives. model:chat executes record_directive; pmstate:directives reads
the ledger. Degrades cleanly when the pm-state repo is absent.
- Directives screen shows the real ledger when present, the fixture demo otherwise.
Note: the pm-state repo isn't created yet — my token lacks write:user (repo
creation). Create `commitea-pm-state` (private) to activate the live path; all the
code + tests are in place. Override with COMMITEA_PMSTATE_REPO.
Verified: 116 core tests green (8 directive + 2 contents-API added), desktop
typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Gated live test: the real gemma-4-26b calls
record_directive for "pilots come first" (logs intent, doesn't claim to apply it);
the append/read + POST/PUT contents paths are unit-tested.

The last big agent capability. In the Capture screen, a rough braindump runs real
big-model decomposition into a small, estimated issue set; you review/edit the
labels and approve, and the issues are opened in gitea. This is the one place the
big model earns its keep (docs/agent-tools.md).
core (@commitea/core):
- capture-work: PROPOSE_ISSUES_TOOL + CAPTURE_SYSTEM; captureWork(complete, dump)
forces a single structured decomposition and returns validated issues; parseCaptureArgs
drops blank titles + invalid est/p labels. ProposedIssue / CaptureProposal.
- gitea client: createIssue({title, body?, labelIds?}) → POST /issues, normalized.
app:
- model bridge model:capture runs captureWork on the (loaded) big model.
- gitea bridge gitea:createIssues opens each approved issue with its est/* + p/*
labels (reusing the #41 label-id resolver — zero-pollution, no invented labels).
- Capture screen: when a model is configured, "Brew tickets" runs real capture and
"Approve all" files the set; otherwise the scripted demo interview runs. Fixed a
race — the brew handler re-checks model status at click time so a configured
model never falls into the scripted path before status resolves.
Verified: 108 core tests green (7 capture + createIssue added), desktop typecheck
clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Gated live e2e against gemma-4-26b: the auth braindump
→ 3 real tickets ("Resolve token refresh + session staleness" est/3d p/1, "Fix
webhook double-firing" est/2d p/2, "Write auth setup docs" est/1d p/3), reviewable
and editable; Discard so the test files nothing (createIssue POST is unit-tested).

Completes "chat is the write-path" (decisions.md D1). Ask Reginald to re-estimate
or reprioritize an issue; it formulates a proposal, you approve it inline, and the
write runs through the same guarded apply_changes engine the Issue screen uses.
The model never writes — it proposes; the app owns approval + execution.
core (@commitea/core):
- propose_change tool declaration + REGINALD_SYSTEM updated ("never claim a change
is applied; you propose, the human approves").
- proposalsFor(args, currentLabels, title): pure — builds the concrete, non-noop
ChangeProposal(s) (change + label diff) for a propose_change request, dropping
invalid/unchanged axes. ChangeProposal / ProposeChangeArgs types.
app:
- model bridge executes propose_change by planning against the issue's current
labels (no write) and returns the proposals with the turn.
- useChat surfaces pending proposals + approve/dismiss; approve calls onApplyChange
(AppShell's guarded handler → PUT + board/forecast refetch), dismiss leaves it.
- ChatPanel renders each proposal as a propose-approve card (diff + Approve/Dismiss).
Verified: 101 core tests green (4 proposalsFor added), desktop typecheck clean,
14 fixture e2e green. Gated live e2e against gemma-4-26b: "Set the estimate on #3
to est/5d" → Reginald proposes "est/2d → est/5d" as an inline card, says it's
*proposed* not done; Dismiss leaves the repo untouched. The approve→write path is
the #41 engine (separately verified change→revert).

Instead of a hardcoded model name (which forces LM Studio to JIT-swap your loaded
model out — and fails when a big model already fills memory), resolve the model
at request time: an explicit env override wins, else ask the server which model
is *loaded* (LM Studio's native /api/v0/models), else the first non-embedding
model, else a default. Reginald now uses whatever you load, no config churn.
- main/model.ts: resolveLoadedModel() drives both model:status and model:chat;
COMMITEA_MODEL_SMALL still overrides.
- useChat exposes the resolved model id; the panel header shows it
(google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-qat → "gemma-4-26b-a4b · local").
- live-reginald e2e: header assertion relaxed to the loaded model; timeouts
raised for a slow big local model (~2 calls/turn + a reconcile).
Verified: 14 fixture e2e green; live e2e drives the app against the loaded
gemma-4-26b — "What now?" → "You should work on #2 … on the critical path,
unblocks #33 and #4" (the real scheduler pick), header shows the live model.

The fixture chat panel is now a working agent. Ask Reginald a question and it
consults the real project through a tool loop, then answers in grounded prose.
Read-only v0 — writes still go through the propose-approve controls.
core (@commitea/core/agent):
- chat-client: OpenAI-wire chat completions over an injected fetch (same seam as
gitea). Points at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (LM Studio/Ollama/OpenAI).
- model-router: small model for prose + the read tool; big model reserved for
later decomposition (pickModel).
- agent-loop: runAgentTurn drives call→tool→result→call until prose (or a step
budget), recording each tool step. Injected complete + execute → fully testable.
- query-project: the single read tool's engine — compact focus/board/calibration/
issue/search views built from scheduler + lifecycle + calibration; unbuilt views
return a notImplemented marker (never fabricated). The model reports, never computes.
- agent-tools: query_project declaration + Reginald's system prompt.
app:
- main model bridge (model:status, model:chat) runs the loop; query_project
reconciles the repo and builds the view. Model traffic stays in main (token/CSP).
gitea.ts refactored to share getGiteaClient + reconcileSnapshot.
- preload + global.d.ts expose the model bridge; useChat drives the panel — real
agent turn when a model is configured, scripted fixture reply otherwise (so
fixture e2e is unchanged). A subtle "consulted the project" activity line.
Model config (env, defaults to LM Studio on :1234): COMMITEA_MODEL_URL /
_SMALL (google/gemma-4-e4b) / _BIG (qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b). COMMITEA_E2E=1 keeps
it unconfigured so the panel stays scripted.
Verified: 88 core tests green (14 agent: client parse, loop tool/error/budget,
all views) + a gated live integration test. Desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture
e2e green. Gated live e2e drives the real app against gitea + gemma-4-e4b: asked
"what now?", Reginald called query_project and answered "focus is on issue #2"
(the real scheduler pick).

The first write path. Read, forecast, and calibration were all real; now you can
*manage* CommiTea from CommiTea. Estimates/priority are exclusive label axes, so
a change is a label swap — proposed, approved, then written. Nothing is assumed.
core (@commitea/core):
- planIssueChange(current, change): pure diff planner — swaps the est/*|p/* axis,
clears on null, dedups a doubled axis; returns the resulting label set + a
before/after diff + noop flag. describeChange() renders "est/2d → est/5d".
- request() seam extended for writes (method/body, JSON, 204). client gains
listLabels() (name→id) and setIssueLabels() (PUT /issues/{n}/labels).
app:
- main bridge gitea:applyChange — resolves plan.labels → ids (cached, refetch on
miss), PUTs, returns the plan + fresh issue. Token never leaves main.
- preload + global.d.ts expose applyChange; useBacklog returns a refetch so a
write re-reconciles the board + forecast.
- Issue screen: an Adjust button (shown only when configured) opens a
propose-approve Dialog — estimate/priority pickers, live "est/3d → est/8d"
consequence, Apply/Cancel. AppShell wires it, reflects new labels on the open
issue immediately, and refetches.
Verified: 83 core tests green (7 apply-changes + 2 client-write new), desktop
typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live spec exercises propose + CANCEL (no
mutation); the real PUT was verified once manually (change #2 est/3d→est/8d→200,
reverted clean). Icon: pencil (no sliders-horizontal in the set).

Close the D3 loop. The forecast now learns from the team's own estimate-vs-actual
history (the working time #5 infers from git events) instead of guessing forever.
core (@commitea/core/calibration-v0):
- fitCalibration(samples): lognormal fit on log(actual/estimate) — global +
per-bucket (once a bucket clears the floor) + per-person bias. coldStart until
n >= 20 closed-with-estimate issues.
- calibrationSamples(): pull those samples from the closed backlog via lifecycle
inference (estimate label vs inferred actualWorkingDays).
- toDurationModel(): project the fit to the params forecast consumes.
- forecast() gains options.model: when past cold-start, fitted params drive the
sim (per bucket, global fallback); otherwise the code priors do. Forecast.coldStart
now reflects the model. nearestBucket extracted + exported.
app:
- AppShell fits calibration once from the reconciled backlog, feeds the model into
forecastBacklog (cone), and drives the Calibration screen + Runway header.
- Focus cone footer, Runway note, and Calibration screen now say cold-start (N/20)
vs calibrated (on N closed) from real data; Calibration scatter / bucket bias /
per-person all fitted, degrading honestly on a thin dataset.
Known refinement: same-day closes yield 0 working-day actuals (day-granular) and
are excluded, so a fast-moving repo can sit at n=0 — honest, but a fractional
(hours-based) actual would let those count. Per-person uses gitea login, not
display name, until the person map lands.
Note: also re-lands #10 (Monte Carlo) and #5 (lifecycle) which merged into their
stacked base branches but never propagated to main (stacked-merge trap); this
branch is cut from main and carries all three so main is whole again.
Verified: 74 core tests green (9 calibration + 2 forecast-switch added), desktop
typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green, live spec asserts the real cold-start
calibration surface (Runway note + screen badge fitted from actuals).

Fill the board's Steeping / In-review columns (and the calibration actuals)
from real gitea timeline events, replacing the three-column-only v0.
core (@commitea/core):
- inferLifecycle(issue, events, asOf): five-column inference — closed → done;
open PR ref → review; commit ref → steeping; any triage signal → triage;
else diagnosis. Earliest event of each kind fixes the stage timestamp.
- Derives actualWorkingDays (work-start → close) — the estimate-vs-actual the
calibration fit (D3) learns from — and steepingDays (first commit → now) for
the board age badge.
- workingDaysBetween(): whole Mon–Fri days in [start, end), day-granular.
- normalizeTimeline() + client.getIssueTimeline(): map gitea's raw timeline
(label/milestone → triage, commit_ref → commit, pull_ref → pull, close,
reopen), drop the rest. Paginated.
app:
- reconcile now fetches every issue's timeline and returns it keyed by number;
threaded through the bridge → useBacklog → board/focus.
- issuesToBoardColumns + scheduleFocus run inferLifecycle: real Steeping/In-review
columns, steeping-age `days` badge, focus-card steeping badge.
Known refinement: gitea's pull_ref fires on any PR mention, so an issue merely
referenced in a PR body can read as In-review; distinguishing closing refs from
mentions needs the PR link's state (later). Re-opening multi-segment actuals
also deferred.
Verified: 63 core tests green (15 lifecycle, incl. workingDaysBetween + the five
transitions), desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green, live spec asserts
the board's Done column is populated from real events.

Replace the demo cone on Morning service with a real, seeded Monte Carlo
forecast over the open backlog. The LLM never does this — it's plain,
reproducible code (evidence-based scheduling).
core (@commitea/core/forecast-v0):
- Code-resident lognormal cold-start priors per estimate bucket (D3):
sampled actual = estimate * exp(N(mu, sigma)), mu > 0 (actuals run long),
sigma shrinks as tickets grow. Replaced by the team's empirical fit at
n >= 20 (#5 supplies the actuals).
- forecast(): seeded mulberry32 + Box-Muller over the scheduler's
deterministic order (order is fixed from estimates/deps; only durations
vary, so the cone stretches, never reorders). Returns p50/p80/p95 landing
+ a per-issue burn-up curve (p10/p50/p90). 12 unit tests; reproducible.
renderer:
- lib/dates.ts: working-day -> calendar mapper (skips weekends) + buildBurnUpData.
- BurnUpCone gains a data-driven twin; falls back byte-identical to the
fixture cone when no forecast (demo mode unchanged).
- Focus card shows the real "80% of the open backlog lands by <range>",
real scope count, and names the cold-start priors.
v0 scope (each a later slice): single serial worker (capacity is #8);
cold-start priors only (empirical fit is #5); no historical actual polyline
(needs lifecycle events, #5). Header chrome (reconcile time, ahead/behind
badge) stays fixture until milestone due dates land.
Verified: 51 core tests green, desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green,
live spec asserts the real cone renders (25 open issues, "lands by Nov 11-27").

CommiTea now recommends its own next unit of work from the live backlog.
- @commitea/core: `schedule()` — dependency topo-sort with priority +
estimate tie-breaks, single serial capacity, cycle detection, and
critical-path marking; `selectFocus()` takes the top three. Pure,
deterministic; the LLM does none of this. +11 tests (39 in core).
Client gains `getIssueDependencies`.
- main: reconcile also fetches native issue dependencies for the open
scope and returns edges.
- renderer: `scheduleFocus()` maps real issues+deps→Now/Next/Later;
Focus renders scheduler output (fixture fallback when unconfigured).
v0 scope (each a later slice): single serial worker (per-person
capacity #8), point durations (Monte Carlo cone #10), estimate-only
(calibration #5). Verified: 14 e2e green (fixtures) + gated live spec —
the board shows the real 25 open + 9 closed, and Focus picks #2
ChangeSource (critical path) as Now. Screenshots confirmed.

The app now displays its own live backlog instead of fixtures. First
end of the sync loop — the tap-root (#1) grows list reads and a read
path through the Electron main process.
- @commitea/core: client gains `listIssues` (paginated, PRs excluded)
and `listMilestones`; a `lifecycle-v0` mapper (closed→done,
labelled/milestoned→triage, bare→diagnosis — steeping/review await
event inference in P1-5). +10 unit tests.
- main: gitea bridge over IPC (token stays in main, never the renderer);
config from env / .env.local; gated off under COMMITEA_E2E so the
committed e2e stays on fixtures. Preload exposes the typed bridge.
- renderer: useBacklog() reconciles once on mount; issuesToBoardColumns
shapes real issues into The pot. Board takes optional real columns +
a loading state, falling back to demo fixtures when unconfigured.
Verified: 14 e2e green (fixture mode) + a gated live spec that launches
against the real repo — the board renders the actual 25 open + 9 closed
issues (screenshot). SQLite mirror + reconcile-on-a-timer + lifecycle
event inference are the next slices (#2/#3/#5).

The last three P3 screens, retiring every placeholder:
- DirectivesScreen — jade consequence diff (propose-approve: Make it so
/ Amend / Withdraw, resolving moves it into the ledger) + append-only
ledger (seq, who/when/why, verbatim quote, status badge).
- SettingsScreen — gitea connection + managed repos, sync switches,
model router, read-only label schema, rituals, appearance radios
(wired to the shared theme), single danger action.
- OnboardingScreen — full-window first run: welcome → connect (test
gate) → repo pick → propose-approve bootstrap; onDone routes into the
app. Shell early-returns it (no rail/chat), matching the design.
Shell routes directives/settings and the firstrun full-window flow.
DIRECTIVES fixture added. typecheck + 14 e2e green (incl. directive
resolve, appearance↔theme sync, onboarding test gate); all three
screenshot-verified.
Closes P3-8. P3 (UI views) complete — all 14 screens live on fixtures.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
First real P3 screens, replacing the placeholders:
- FocusScreen — Now/Next/Later cards (Now = jade + Start/Defer footer),
each with #id, label tags, steeping badge, agent-font rationale, and
a title link that drives the shell issue drill-in. Milestone card
wraps the burn-up cone.
- StandupScreen — typeset letter: overnight drift (dot + delta), per-
person plan (initials avatars), warn-tint stale-blocker nag; sections
settle in on a 90ms stagger, reduced-motion-safe.
- charts/chart.tsx — BurnUpCone (actual polyline, forecast cone with
dashed 80% bounds, jade today rule) + RunwayBar (for P3-5). Fixed
sample geometry until P2 feeds it.
Fixtures (today/focus/standup) mirrored from data.js. Shell routes
focus/standup to the real screens; the drill-in now starts from a Focus
card. Screenshot helper freezes animations so fade-in screens capture
settled. typecheck + 9 e2e green; light/standup/states verified.
Closes P3-3.

Reimplements the handoff Shell in React/TS: 208px left rail (nav +
connection dot + Evening service theme switch), max-1120 main column,
330px Reginald chat panel. Routing across top-level views with an
issue drill-in + back-stack of one; data-theme owned by the shell.
- ChatPanel: fixture write-path — echoes a canned reply so layout +
interactions are real; model router wiring lands in P4.
- states.tsx: EmptyState / OfflineBanner / ModelAwayState + the States
specimen gallery, ported from the handoff.
- PlaceholderScreen stands in for not-yet-built views (P3-3+), keeping
navigation live; it also exposes the issue drill-in for now.
- Gallery loses its own theme toggle (shell owns data-theme); reachable
via a Primitives rail entry as a living reference.
Fixtures mirrored from the handoff's data.js. typecheck + 7 e2e green
(nav, theme, offline banner + disabled composer, chat echo, drill-in
back-stack); light/dark/states screenshots verified.
Closes P3-2.

Verbatim port of the handoff primitives into components/ui/ — Icon,
Button, IconButton, Badge, Tag, Card, Tabs (core); Input, Select,
Checkbox, Radio, Switch (forms); Dialog, Toast, Tooltip (feedback).
Each keeps its injected token-referencing CSS byte-for-byte; the
handoff .d.ts contracts become the exported prop interfaces. Barrel at
components/ui/index.ts.
Adds a PrimitivesGallery (app root for now; real shell is P3-2) that
exercises every primitive with a light/dark toggle. Smoke suite asserts
the gallery, section coverage, theme flip, and dialog open/Escape;
screenshots captured for both themes. typecheck + 5 e2e green.
Closes P3-1.

Launches the built app (out/main/index.js) via Playwright's _electron
API — no browser project, no chromium download. Adds a launch fixture
(electronApp/window/app), an AppPage page object with a screenshot
helper for autonomous visual review, and a boot smoke suite (shell
renders, @commitea/core label-parse runs in the renderer, preload API
exposed). Scripts: e2e (build+run), e2e:only, e2e:report. Artifacts
gitignored.
